가성동맥류의 초음파 유도 압박법 시행 후 발생한 심부정맥 혈전증 1예

초록

Femoral artery pseudoaneurysm (FAP) is one of the most troublesome groin complications related to femoral arterial access during invasive cardiovascular procedures. Ultrasound-guided compression is the initial treatment for FAP. Here, we describe the case of a 65 year-old female who developed significant deep vein thrombosis (DVT) following ultrasound-guided compression of FAP after percutaneous coronary intervention. She was successfully treated with anti-coagulation medications. This case, along with a brief review of the literature, should remind physicians of the possible occurrence of delayed vascular complications, such as DVT, after ultrasound-guided compression of FAP.
